[IDEA] Clarify setting of tool appearances #4578

Open twMat opened 4 years ago

twMat commented 4 years ago

Regarding Controlpanel > Appearance > Toolbars:

For the various toolbars, it's inconsistent and overall unclear what unchecking an item means:

Given that we now have good DnD functionality, I propose using something like in the illustration which, once they're informed that it is DnD, is self explanatory.

Thus, checkboxes are removed all together - possibly excepting the tools that should fully appear/disappear:

A further idea:

It is very difficult to access the tiddler for a tool because 'what is the title of the tiddler'? And you can't search for the "description" because it is a lingo translation. Accessing the tools are useful for hacking e.g creating your own toolbar items.

So, I further request that each icon or perhaps it's caption is a link to the tools tiddler. The advantage of using the icon as the link, instead of the caption, is that you're is less likely to click it by mistake when DnD'ing.
